Antarctica is probably the least accessible continent for most people on the planet. For those lucky enough to visit the continent as a tourist, most won't be able to see the actual day-to-day life of the staff who live and work in Antarctica; science research stations generally aren't accessible as a tourist destination. I've managed to spend both a winter and a summer in Antarctica at two different research stations. Both deployments were because of my status as a marine research scientist. I consider myself super lucky and privileged to have experienced day-to-day working life on station. Enough to write quite a few more blogposts when I find the time! Here's a couple of walk-through-POV videos I made by strapping a GoPro to my head and just strolling through station. The first was in 2016 at the USA-run Palmer Station. The second was in 2020 right at the start of the global pandemic at the British-run Rothera Station.
